A little rant.

You know, nothing gives me more motivation than those people who think I'm just a typical teen mom who got pregnant in high school, broke up with the baby daddy, blah blah blah. The only words I have for those people are, "Watch me."

I may not have gone a single day in college. Yes, I'm a single mother. Yes, I work at Jamba Juice and make barely over minimum wage. I may still live at home. I may not own my own car. But watch me. 

In a few months, I'll be the GM of my current store or the brand new store set to open up this year. I'll be making salary, and about the same amount of money as my mother, who has a college degree and has worked for her company for more than ten years. I've worked hard to build good credit, which means I'll qualify for a car and an apartment. And who will be laughing then?

I may not have a typical family. I may not be able to give my daughter everything she wants. But I give her everything she needs, and the best of it. She is in a top rated preschool, for which I pay for entirely. I don't rely on anyone else for money or things I need to take care of her. I support my daughter and myself to the best of my ability, and work hard every single day to make sure I can keep improving our quality of living. Not only do I work hard, but I spend time with my daughter. I sing to her. I read to her. We go to the park. I teach her about good manners. She eats well, most of her meals being organic. I teach her the best things I know to teach her. And I love her. Unconditionally. 

So to anyone who has ever thought I'm that typical deadbeat teen parent, WATCH ME.
